1/4 steel, 3/4 graphite shaft

["Richard"]

I saw straving student at golftown he was putting a shaft in his driver that was part steel and the rest was graphite, said it was the same shaft tiger was using, can someone tell me what shaft it was and what the advantages of a shaft like that are? Looked damn expensive

Isn't that a graffalloy Bimatrix Prototype?

Tiger's actually not using it anymore. He switched back to a Diamana.

The shaft he was putting in was a Grafalloy BiMatrx Prototype. Details here:

I have the original BiMatrx in one of my drivers. It's actually a pretty decent shaft. The idea of the steel tip was to "improve the tip stability" which supposedly reduced the dispersion.

They're not all that expensive, they are 89 plus tax me thinks. The "advantages" are a firmer steel tip section which apparently helps straighten you out. You lose some feel but the shaft seems pretty popular.

It's definitely the Grafalloy. True Temper doesn't make those shafts anymore. The main difference between the Grafalloy and the TT is the tip. TT's was steel, Grafalloy's is stainless steel.

There's a clubmaker in Calgary that was doing the "Bi-Matrix" thing years before the big guys were. I think it's Caltek Golf.

Golfworks has the driver shafts for $112 and the fairways for $87. Black or Pink (ala Bubba Watson)

LOL! STARVINGstudent seems to not be so starving. Perhaps he needs a name change.

I thought you played with Geoff the other day - if he still had a pink shafted driver, then that is the shaft you are asking about.

Aldila also makes a pink NV. I'm pretty sure there a few others as well.

I thought geoffs was all pink, this one was part steel...

Richard, click on Geoffs golf bag icon, you will see he has the shaft I gave a link to, but do it soon before he has a new driver .

I was there when he got the shaft installed .......

Grafalloy is owned by True Temper.
